It warmed up to the high 30’s yesterday for a couple hours, just long enough to melt the ice on the roads so today after breakfast we will go to McMinnville to get the onion sets and some meat for the freezer and some onions to eat.  I think that is all we are low on.  This morning it is 26 degrees but they promise up into the low 50’s for Nashville this afternoon so we should hit the 40’s and can do a little gardening this afternoon.  Looks like spring is on the way!
